The Counterattack of a Wealthy Family's Substitute

Wang Wan's hand was grabbed in mid-air, and the pain made her face turn pale instantly.

Xi Yuanchen let go of Wang Wan's hand, stood next to Yao Yingxi, and looked down at her: "Are you just going to wait to be bullied like this?"

Yao Yingxi was surprised by Xi Yuanchen's sudden appearance. She looked up at him, momentarily dazed, before regaining her senses, lowering her eyelashes and not answering Xi Yuanchen's question.

Would she just wait for others to bully her? The answer is no.

The second half of her sentence was actually, "But they have to be able to afford the consequences of offending Xi Yuanchen," but they didn't give her a chance to finish.

Xi Yuanchen frowned deeply when he didn't receive a reply from Yao Yingxi.

Most people present knew Xi Yuanchen, knew that he was the president of GP, and knew that this new tycoon, whose identity and background were unclear, could make Yuncheng tremble with a stomp of his foot.

Everyone fell silent, and the way they looked at Yao Yingxi changed again.

After Wang Wan managed to stand firm, she saw Xi Yuanchen's powerful aura and unconsciously swallowed the curse that was about to come out of her mouth.

Anan quickly figured out the cause and effect of the matter and whispered to Xi Yuanchen in her ear.

After hearing Anan's words, Xi Yuanchen's expression grew even colder. He looked at Wang Wan and asked, "Are you saying she stole your bracelet?"

Wang Wan was intimidated by Xi Yuanchen's tone, and her body trembled. Under Xi Yuanchen's sharp gaze, her voice became very weak: "I bumped into her and my bracelet disappeared."

"Do you think someone close to me, Xi Yuanchen, would steal your necklace?" Xi Yuanchen spoke again, and Wang Wan shrank back.

Anan stepped forward, took the necklace from Wang Wan's hand as if it were his own, and then gave it to Xi Yuanchen.

Xi Yuanchen took it, looked at it, smiled, and let go, causing the bracelet to fall straight to the ground.

More than two million yuan worth of things just fell to the ground like that. Yao Yingxi looked down at the bracelet that Xi Yuanchen had thrown on the ground.

"Yao Yingxi, what do you think of this necklace?"

Yao Yingxi didn't know what Xi Yuanchen was planning, but this time she didn't mess up and said, "It's so tacky."

Something worth over two million is considered vulgar...

Xi Yuanchen glanced at Yao Yingxi, a hint of admiration in his eyes: "Did I pollute your eyes?"

Yao Yingxi looked up at Xi Yuanchen and suddenly smiled: "A little."

A smile flashed across Xi Yuanchen's eyes: "Okay, then I'll leave it to you to handle."

Yao Yingxi pointed to the bracelet on the ground, and Xi Yuanchen nodded. Yao Yingxi looked down at the bracelet on the ground, took two steps, and stepped directly on it.

"Yao Yingxi!" Wang Wan didn't expect Yao Yingxi to do this. More than two million yuan worth of Dingxi! She stepped on it without blinking.

Wang Wan instinctively looked for Xu Xinya, but couldn't see her. Her voice was vicious: "You!"

Yao Yingxi looked at her and smiled, "What's wrong with me?"

"You owe me money!" Wang Wan looked at the bracelet that Xu Xinya had stepped on. It was worth more than two million yuan. How was she going to pay Xu Xinya back?

If her father knew she had squandered over two million yuan, he would beat her to death.

“Mr. Xi…” Yao Yingxi moved her feet and walked to Xi Yuanchen’s side.

Her voice was a little low, and it sounded like she was being coquettish. Xi Yuanchen looked at her, reached out and took her hand, pulling her to his side.

Xi Yuanchen looked at Wang Wan, and soon, Anan came in with the invitation she had received from the organizer.

Xu Hengyuan was among the invitees to the cocktail party.

Xi Yuanchen glanced at it and handed it to Yao Yingxi. Yao Yingxi took it and immediately realized what it meant.

It turns out that everything was designed by Xu Xinya.

Yao Yingxi looked around, but Xu Xinya was nowhere to be seen.

Everyone around waited quietly to see how this farce would end. Wang Wan gradually realized the seriousness of the situation, and her pale face turned even paler.

With Xu Xinya absent, Yao Yingxi felt somewhat disinterested in Wang Wan.

Xi Yuanchen saw right through her at a glance, and with his hand gripping her wrist, he moved it down and grabbed her entire hand.

His hands were warm, unlike the cold aura he exuded.

Yao Yingxi turned her head to look at him, and Xi Yuanchen said, "My people have never been bullied and have swallowed their anger. Yao Yingxi, in my eyes, kindness without value is just cowardice."

Kindness without value is cowardice.

As Yao Yingxi pondered Xi Yuanchen's words, she suddenly felt a sense of enlightenment.

All her confusion and uncertainty during this period seemed to vanish in an instant.

Yao Yingxi looked at Xi Yuanchen, suddenly smiled, and said, "I understand."

Xi Yuanchen didn't know what effect his words had on Yao Yingxi, but watching her walk out with her back straight, a rare smile appeared on his lips.

Yao Yingxi stopped in front of Wang Wan and raised her hand to wipe the lipstick off her face, but Wang Wan seemed like a frightened bird. Before Yao Yingxi could even touch her, she backed away and asked in fear, "What are you going to do?"

"I'm not doing anything." Yao Yingxi withdrew her hand. "Didn't Miss Wang say she was going to call the police and have me arrested? You know there's theft, but do you know there's also the crime of false accusation and defamation?"

Wang Wan's face turned even paler. Only now did she realize that Xu Xinya had lied to her. She said that Xi Yuanchen came from a good family, but she didn't say that in the eyes of someone like Xi Yuanchen, she was nothing.

Xu Xinya said that Yao Yingxi was the kind of woman who climbed into Xi Yuanchen's bed by relying on her looks. As long as she could make Yao Yingxi lose face on the spot and be accused of being a thief, Xi Yuanchen would kick Yao Yingxi out, and then she could take the opportunity to get Xi Yuanchen's attention to her.

But that's not the case at all. Xi Yuanchen is someone you can't mess with, and neither can Yao Yingxi.

Wang Wan looked around but couldn't see Xu Xinya anywhere. That woman had long since disappeared!

"I..." Wang Wan barely managed to calm herself down, clasping her trembling hands together as she looked at Yao Yingxi: "I have no idea what you're talking about. I found the bracelet I lost in your bag. I didn't frame you or slander you."

Yao Yingxi's gaze remained fixed on her. After she finished speaking, she smiled and said, "It seems you're not entirely stupid. If you tell me who instructed you to frame me, I'll have Mr. Xi release you. Otherwise..."
